almond croissant protein cheesecake
i’ll admit it… i had never heard of frangipane before making this recipe & i’ve actually never even had an almond croissant. but after learning about them, i completely understand the hype because that almond filling layer might be my favorite part.
this almond croissant protein cheesecake takes all the flavors of a classic almond croissant & transforms them into a protein-packed dessert that feels bakery-worthy, but with a better-for-you upgrade. 🤌🥐✨
